50 things every new mum should know

Take notes

Write down when your baby feeds. Having a new baby inevitably means you're going to be surviving on less sleep than normal, and this can play havoc with your memory. By recording when your baby last fed, you'll stop having to strain your brain trying to figure out whether the last feed you remember actually happened a few hours ago, or yesterday! There are free apps for this, or you could use an old-fashioned pen and paper.
